NEW YORK — If we've learned one thing — and that's debatable — it's clear there are no lethal losses in the warped sports world of James Dolan.

Not three points to a Dwayne Wade-less (and previously winless) Miami at home.

Not an 0-4 western road trip, where Isiah Thomas lost whatever respect his fully renovated roster of Knicks may have had for him once upon a time by brushing off the players' unanimous vote to sit homing pigeon Stephon Marbury for one game for the game he deserted them.
